Not Your Old Bean Bag Chair

2010-03-06T13:01:00.000-08:00

By Sean Butler

I remember having an old vinyl bean bag chair when I was a kid. I would spend hours in that bean bag watching TV, playing games or just hanging around. It was a sad day when we finally had to get rid of it because the seams started to come apart and Styrofoam beads were everywhere.

Bean bag chairs have come a long way since I was a kid many years ago. Yes, the old vinyl bean bags still exist, although they are of better quality and are far safer for children with their specially designed child proof zippers. Now they also come in faux fur, animal print, micro fiber, team sport logos and many more. There are even bean bags for kids that look like stuffed animals, footballs and baseballs, as well as bean bags made with mesh that can be used outdoors. Some of the newer bean bag chairs may not even be bean bags at all, instead they are filled with shredded memory foam typically found in mattresses and can be up to 8 feet long, taking the place of a sofa or loveseat. They are great for kids’ rooms, game rooms, home theaters, family rooms, dorm rooms or just about anywhere you want a comfortable place to sit.

With so many fabrics, colors, shapes and sizes to choose from, bean bags can be a fun and unique addition to your home decor.

Bean Bag Chairs - Kids and Teens - A Fantastic Gift

2010-03-03T12:59:00.000-08:00

By Kevin Salerno

Kids And Teens Bean Bag Chairs

Our kids used to fight over my old college bean bag chair. We had to buy each of them one of their own. That was ten years ago and they still use them now. I think their beanbags are the only gifts we've given them that they still have.

These chairs are nothing like the ones from twenty or thirty years ago. Heavy, uncomfortable, boring and ugly. The new style bean bags are lightweight, come in dozens of sizes, styles, shapes, colors, and fabrics. They work well with any home, apartment or room decor.

They are easily cleaned by just wiping them with a soapy sponge; and some covers are even machine washable. In a few years you can easily refill them, either completely or with a small amount of material just to fluff them up.

The majority of today's bean bag chairs use an expanded polystyrene foam filling, a type of Styrofoam. This material can be found on most bean bag chair websites.

You can get bean bags filled with polyurethane foam as well. This is a type of foam rubber, something like the cushions on your couch. A little harder to find than the polystyrene, but it is available. It's all a matter of personal taste. The polystyrene filling tends to have a firmer feel with extra support, whereas the polyurethane fill is a little heavier and will give you a softer more "sinking-in" type feeling.

Either product is light years ahead of the dinosaurs from the old days. The new bean bags boast beautiful style, a high comfort factor and extreme durability. You can't beat a bean bag chair as a gift. It's practical and a great value. The gift your loved ones will use and cherish every day for many years to come.

Bean Bag Chair Furniture Comes of Age

2010-02-28T12:57:00.000-08:00

By J. Hewlett

In the late 1960's and 1970's, bean bag chairs were a popular form of modular furniture. Filled with small chunks of Styrofoam or PVC pellets, these were standard fare in dormitories and young people's homes. Adults also bought them for their children's bonus rooms. They didn't tend to be seen as "grown up" furniture.

But in the 21st century, these chairs have been completely updated and now can now be brought up from the basement and put into an elegant family room. Now adults are proud to have bean bag chairs and sectionals as part of their family and media rooms.

Bean bag chairs and sectionals are no longer filled with Styrofoam. Instead, they are filled with shredded polyurethane. Polyurethane comes from sugar. Steam is blown into the sugar to create the voluminous effect.

You can purchase them with two different sizes of polyurethane beans. Regular sectionals are created with beans ranging from 3 to 9 mm, but micro beads are now available with beans ranging from 1 to 3 mm.

Bean Bag Sectionals are becoming especially popular for media rooms. These functional pieces of furniture can be reconfigured to meet different needs as people come and go. Sectionals can be purchased with four to seven pieces.

A couple snuggling up watching a romantic movie might use four of the sections as a bed. When the kids have their friends over for a night of watching horror flicks, they can spread the pieces out so everyone has a spot.

Bean bags and bean bag sectionals are extremely functional and surprisingly beautiful pieces of furniture that fit the contemporary family's life.

Bean Bag Chairs - You'll Never Turn Back

2010-02-25T12:55:00.000-08:00

By Tyson Ellis

When choosing what you will spend your time sitting in, your choices seem limitless. Still, there are a few reasons why you might to consider bean bag chairs among your options.

People will want to visit

I used to be very concerned with the fact that my friends were never very eager to spend time at my apartment. I wasn't sure if the dishes smelled, if my roommates made a mess, or what the deal was. It was then that I purchased some bean bag chairs, and I have never been worried since. They are comfortable to sit in, far surpassing the comfort of any other sitting option you could come up with.

You want your home to look nice

Bean bag chairs are so luxurious and comfortable that I will never go back to boring mundane furniture. They compare to nothing else, including those overpriced leather couches and suede love seats. My friends, there is nothing quite as exquisite as the available bean bag chairs on the market, and they are preferred more than any other type of furniture.

If you feel more comfortable in your own house and just can't quite get others to understand how great your pad is, it is about time you got yourself some bean bag chairs. It doesn't matter if you are new to the neighborhood or an old-timer, a shy person trying to rebuild old friendships, or a social butterfly that is seeking out some new friends; bean bags are the answer for you. If you don't believe me, try it for yourself and just you wait and see. Your house guests will increase and your social status will raise. The conversations flow so much easier when your body is at ease and blissful comfort, and more meaningful relationships can actually begin with the fresh start of a bean bag collection.

The Modern Marine Bean Bag Chair

2010-02-16T04:16:00.000-08:00

By Kevin Salerno

Marine bean bag chairs are manufactured using the highest quality 100% marine grade materials. A department store bean bag will rot and fade in time from the sun's UV rays and mildew when it gets wet. The filler used in the department store version is usually re-ground Styrofoam or shredded foam which breaks down fairly quickly and will absorb water when they get wet. Drying your bean bag out after it absorbs water is almost impossible. A waterlogged bean bag will mildew very quickly and smell very badly.

The marine grade materials used to manufacture these bean chairs are made to handle the most extreme conditions. They use virgin polystyrene beads that will not absorb water and do not break down, and high grade vinyl covers made to withstand the elements.

Most boats of today have less seating to allow for more deck space. The reason marine bean chairs were created, was to give the boater a comfortable seating option that is not only versatile but portable. The use of high quality marine grade vinyl, and heavy duty marine grade nylon thread and zippers, make a high end product that will last for years to come.

Use them on your boat, take them to the beach, or take them on your camping trip. They are completely weather resistant, so you can use them near the pool or the lake, sit in them on the lanai or porch, or even use them as a comfortable recliner to get a sun tan.

The vinyl covers are UV protected so they won't fade in the sun. They are oil and stain resistant so they easily wipe clean, and they are mildew resistant so they won't turn green and rot away. They are filled with Styrofoam beads so they won't absorb water and sink to the bottom of the ocean, lake or pool!

This product as far as I know, comes in white only. Double stitched with clear nylon for strength and additional weather resistance. They will not fill up with water if they get wet. They are lightweight, only 10 lbs. Easy to relocate, stack-able, and a 30" diameter will not fill up the whole boat, camper or minivan.

Best of all these bean bag chairs will not set you back by hundreds of dollars. You can pick one up for about 100 bucks. A most cost effective way to provide additional, versatile seating. This chair will be treasured by you and your family for many, many years to come.

NOTE: We do not recommend you leave your marine bean chair out in the rain and snow indefinitely. Move out of extreme weather to a sheltered area such as an overhang, porch or lanai, and you will enjoy your bean bag chair a lot longer.

Bean Bag Chairs - Be Informed of the Safety Requirements

2010-02-07T04:06:00.000-08:00

By Amber Minnick

The environment at home should be a secure and safe one for each child. Children should have a comfortable, fun, creative and imaginative world of play within their homes. We all want to keep our kids safe in our own home. This article is written to educate parents and loved ones of children about the new safety requirements for bean bag chairs. I want to educate and familiarize everyone with the fun, comfortable and unique seat a bean chair can be.

Before the new safety requirements were established in the nineties by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, there were incidences of children climbing into a bag chair and suffocating on bag filler. This is why the CPSC looked closely at bean bag chairs, and new safety requirements were put into place to ensure the safety of children. Zipper pulls were too easy for children to open and gain access to the bag filler causing inhalation and suffocation.

The CPSC and several bean bag chair manufacturers came up with new requirements to make it virtually impossible for children to open the chairs. Zippers should have locking zippers that children would not be able to open. The old style chairs have zippers that have a small T shaped piece on the zipper, should be taken away from children immediately and the manufacturer contacted. Fifteen or more manufacturers were involved in this corrective action and repair recall. Since this recall manufacturers have redesigned and made a safer bean chair.

Bean chairs should be made well with the highest quality materials, double stitched seams, double overlapping zippers and have child safety locking zipper pulls. These zipper pulls should be made so that only an adult using a paper clip or safety pin can unzip and access the bean bag filler on the inside. They should be made from high quality material for maximum durability.

Elite Products, Inc., one of these companies that have a quality product. Each chair has two locking zippers that are overlapping. They use thick commercial grade fabrics with double stitched seams for maximum durability.

Preventing the previous occurrences from happening is the main focus of bean bag manufacturers today. We all want safety to be a priority.

When shopping for a chair please remember these safety required features and make an informed decision on the product that you want in your home. Make sure they meet all of the safety requirements of the CPSC. The best thing to do is to ask questions and make sure you are getting a product that is safe for everyone in the family, especially your children. A bean bag chair can be comfortable, fun and unique seating for everyone.

Can Adults Get Away With Owning Bean Bags Chairs?

2010-02-01T03:59:00.000-08:00

By Amber Liddell

Unless they belong to the children of the household, bean bag chairs and various bean bag furniture has been equated to so-called "hippies" or just those adults who apparently haven't grown up. Is that really a fair analysis or can adults get away with owning bean bag chairs and other bean bag furniture and still be considered normal, socially acceptable people? It's a difficult question to answer, and of course every opinion will depend on individual factors and the sort of people one has grown up with or become friends with. The consensus seems to be that adults can in fact 'get away' with decorating in bean bags, and in fact, it has become normal and fun to have a comfy seat to offer guests.

For one thing, bean bags are fun and comfy! So, who's to say we can't all be "fun" when we are adults? This is what separates the bean bag-loving adult from the more socially conscientious adult - FUN - and some people just enjoy the ambiance that comes from this kind of furniture, and this kind of freedom in decor!

Perhaps the perfect happy medium is to combine aspects of the traditional 'adult' furniture and decor with a few contemporary, fun pieces like bean bag footrests or chairs in the corners of the living space. You will be amazed at the beautiful fabrics that bean bags and foam furniture are available in these days! Find microfiber, micro suede, brushed cotton, suede, high quality vinly and twill in colors that are sure to match every room.

Bean bag chairs and other pieces of furniture are a great way to just have fun, in your youth and in adulthood, despite what anyone else thinks you should be doing with your time and space. Life is about enjoying yourself and spreading happiness to those people you care about, so go ahead and decorate whichever way you want! Try out a giant bean bag chair like you've been dreaming about! Place it in your living room for extra seating or to curl with a good book, the game room or rec room is perfect and even an office for an extra seat to go over paperwork. Truly a bean bag chair in the size, color and material to fit any room.

Bean Bag Chairs Since 1960

2010-01-29T03:56:00.000-08:00

By James Hundale

I have heard many people agree on numerous occasions that the invention of the bean bag is probably the best in the furniture business of all time. The nifty little piece of furniture has been on the market for several decades and is still going strong after years of being in production. Growing from strength to strength in design and manufacturing. You might be interested to hear that the very first bean bag had been invented in 1960! The original design was made with a pear shaped leather called 'Sacco', which was actually invented and created by accident as a by product line of a Styrofoam business. It quickly became very popular due to its extreme levels of comfort it provides and for its unique ability to conform to the body and movements of the person sitting on the bean bag.

Bean bags popularity grew and became an icon of some sort in pop culture. Soon it was to be found in most American homes and more surprisingly, in the offices too! No teenager's or young adult's room would have been complete without the trendy bean bag in pride of place. The bean bag's presence in a room maximizes space and the levels of comfort. It has even been found in tough corporate workplaces, as chairs for the employees and even employers. In many boardrooms old uncomfortable office chairs had to make way for bean bags transforming the rooms into 'bean bag rooms', providing the necessary creativity for a good brainstorm session, allowing for creativity to be explored with the inspiration from the colorful bean bags. By replacing these office chairs with bean bags, it allows for more open interaction with each other, where the old chairs and boardroom table didn't do much for the creative juices.

To name two companies who use this method in their offices, is Mattel, the worlds biggest toy manufacturing company and Avalanche, a popular web design company. Many people now love and cherish their bean bag. The bean bag even has a few celebrity fans of its own. Drew Barrymore has said she loves spending the whole day lying on her bean bag and reading one of her favorite books.

Be it at your home or your place of employment, a bean bag chair has become a welcome part of our everyday lives. Guests feel welcome and instantly relaxed when welcomed by the sight of a bean bag. It also takes the hassle away of running after your kids, afraid they might mess up your expensive furniture, when they can now play on their own bean bags. Making it ideal for hyperactive children, who are prone to jump around on anything jumpable! Bean bags has come a long way and it sure to pave the way forward...comfortably.

Since bigger is better, I reckon you would find yourself agreeing that watching your favorite television show or sports game is a lot more entertaining on a wide plasma screen television, than watching it on a small screen, which you probably need to wear glasses for!

Wouldn't it be better to watch the latest film or movie fresh from Hollywood on a cinema screen, than viewing it on your television at your home or computer screen? Big seems to get more tempting by the minute, right?

The same goes for big bean bag chairs. It is much more comfortable and relaxing to fall back into a bigger size bean bag chair, than a smaller one. The bigger the size, the more the comfort! Also, the bigger the bean bag, the bigger the levels of accommodation!

Sitting or even lying on a bag while reading a fairytale to your kids or watching them playing is much more comfortable than sitting on a normal chair. Bring on the romance, while lying in your partner's arms in a big bean bag, side by side, reliving and remembering old and new memories made.

Had a bad day at the office? Come home to a relaxing, soft big bean bag, embracing you when you sit down, almost massaging the day's stresses away, and bringing relief after a hard day. Welcome guests when they arrive, make them feel at home by letting them sit and enjoy good company in a good comfortable bean bag.

Make family gatherings more child-like and fun, by placing bean bags around the room and letting everyone enjoy the fun activities on big bean bags. Not having to worry about furniture breaking or being knocked over, making family get-togethers so much more memorable!

For those with a passion for brightness, they also come in orange, red, yellow, green, blue and even pastel colors for those who prefer a more toned down color.

By Tyson Ellis

The benefits of bean bag chairs go on and on. If you in the market for a comfortable chair that caters to any person's shape, size, or personality, this is your answer. For starters bean bag chairs are the number one on the market when it comes to comfort. They are top of the line in the quality of comfort you are paying for, and you know that is the truth if you have ever seen a movie night fight go down about who gets to sit in the bean bags. In addition, bean bag chairs are very well known to last long and be very durable.

Most brands offer extensive guarantees or even lifetime options depending on which way you go, because they are that confidant in the life span of these things. They can be tossed around, kicked, punched, stuffed, etc and never lose their shape. Bean bag chairs are also very easy to clean.

What's in a Bean Bag Chair?

2010-01-20T03:40:00.000-08:00

By Joy Burk

A bean bag, by definition, is thought to be a bag filled with dried beans. However, despite its straight-forward name, a these unique pieces of furniture do not have to be filled with beans. There are, in fact, several fillings available for your bean bag chair. Each one is unique and has its own sets of advantages and disadvantages.

Polystyrene Beads

For several years, one of the most common bean bag fillers has been polystyrene beads. These beads provide a unique comfort. They compress and shift around to form to your body as you sink into the comfort of your chair.

Styrofoam Peanuts

Another form of filler is Styrofoam peanuts. The advantage to using Styrofoam peanuts is that whenever you receive packages in the mail, chances are you get a whole new supply of peanuts as well. Those can be tossed into your bean bag chair to help re-fill it as the contents inevitably begin to break down. A few packing peanuts here and there will keep your chair in its ideal shape.

Rice & Beans

Dried beans and/or rice can also be used to fill your bean bag. These items are both relatively inexpensive and are available at your every-day supermarket. However, if you live in a moist/humid environment, this may not be the best solution for you. Using rice and/or beans as a filling may also attract moths, insects or even rodents.

Wood Shavings

Perhaps not quite so commonly known are wood shavings. Wood shavings of all types can be used to fill up your bag. Cedar chips in particularly are very appealing to many people because not only do they smell wonderful, they also repel fleas. If you have pets in your house, cedar wood chips might be just the right filler for you.

Polyester Stuffing

Pillow stuffing is also sometimes used to stuff your bean bag. Although it is a somewhat inexpensive solution, it in essence makes a giant pillow and lacks the buoyancy that beads provide. After a few sittings, the stuffing will be packed down and will need re-fluffing.

Feathers

Assuming you aren't allergic to them, feathers and down make a great stuffing. However, before you can fill your bean bag with feathers, you must have a second casing in which to put the feathers. Otherwise, they will work their way through the fabric of your chair.

Polyurethane foam

Polyurethane foam is the latest type of professional bean bag stuffing. This filler is made of small chunks of high density foam. It provides much needed support, is extremely comfortable and can be shaken up for re-shaping over and over again.

Find the filler that is right for you. No matter what you decide to use, you're sure to sit back and relax in the comfort of your bean bag chair!

Bean Bag Chairs, What You Need to Know When Looking to Purchase One

2010-01-17T03:38:00.000-08:00

By John Phillips

Who doesn't love bean bag chairs? There isn't furniture that is much more comfortable than bean bag furniture to sit in while watching a movie or reading. There are many different types, sizes and colors of bean chairs, here is a look at some of them.

I've had a bean bag chair in the past. It flattened out and became very uncomfortable. Have they been improved at all?

Absolutely! The filler material in the original bean bag furniture was made of polystyrene beads. Over time, these beads would flatten out and the chair would be unable to hold a ball shape. Hence, the chairs would flatten out over time. New bean chairs are filled with a polyurethane foam that holds it's shape and is much more comfortable.

I always heard that bean bag chairs were dangerous to have around little kids. Is this still true?

First generation bean bag furniture covers had zippers in them so you could refill the beads if you wished. Trouble was, curious little kids could unzip the cover, crawl inside and suffocate in the beads. New bean furniture has a double zipper system that allows you to get to the inside but will not allow most little kids in.

Bean bag chairs were always kinda ugly. How has this changed?

Long gone are the ghastly bright vinyl covers that the first chairs were covered in. Now bag chairs are covered in suede, corduroy, leather, and yes vinyl. Bean bag furniture is now nice enough to fit into any decor. Bean chairs have come a long way from the rec room mainstays that they once were. Bean furniture is now comfortable beside just about any other furniture.

Bean Bag Chairs Make Great Kids Furniture

2010-01-14T03:36:00.000-08:00

By Travis Z. Edwards

Bean bag chairs were originally conceived in the 1960's by an Italian fashion design team in an effort to create unique, modern furniture. Since then, they've climbed from relative obscurity to a household name.

They were first designed as a pear-shaped leather bag called "Sacco," the Italian word for "bag." Initially, there was little interest until they began mass production. It was then that the Sacco became a cultural icon.

The leather covers soon gave way to cheaper, vinyl canvases, and were filled with polystyrene "beans" to save on manufacturing costs.

After these changes were made, the term "bean bag chairs" was created. The movement quickly built up momentum and in the 1970's they became a sign of the times. Everyone had a bean bag chair in their home dwellings.

Many manufacturers began jumping on the bean bag bandwagon and adding them to their interior design lines. After a brief lull that lasted a decade, their popularity soared in the 1990's during an unprecedented "retro fad" where suddenly everything related to the 70's was cool again.

Again, with the increase in popularity, manufacturers were up to the task of keeping up with demand. However, many producers cut costs in the manufacturing process, and the result was an unsafe product.

In 1999, the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) recalled thousands of unsafe bean bag chairs, citing health hazards for children. Kids were unzipping their bean bags and crawling inside, often suffocating on the tiny pellets.

Soon, over 30,000 bean bag chairs for children made by cost cutting manufacturers had been recalled. Coincidentally, none of these manufacturers are still in business.

Since the recall, certain safety precautions have been implemented to insure your child's safety. When looking for bean bag chairs for children, make sure they have these safety features:

Child-Proof Zippers- to prevent children from crawling inside, some bean bags have double locking zippers that are tamper-proof.

Foam Filling- instead of dangerous tiny beans inside, many bean bags now use shredded foam that is not only safer, but more comfortable.

Now, your kids bean bag chairs are not only comfortable, but completely safe as well.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission holds the responsibility of protecting consumers and families from injury from poorly manufactured products.

Bean Bag Chair

2010-01-08T03:32:00.000-08:00

By Pattrick Jhonson

To overcome the disadvantages associated with conventional bean bags a new form has been designed. It is given name "The Bean Bag Chairs". The idea behind is that like conventional bean bag assembly it is provided with a rigid plastic base to keep it above the ground.

The need of Bean bag chairs arises because there occurs a frequent lose in the flexible material of the bags called pellets because of which the bean bag collapses. The bean bag chairs is a combination of the older bags and a supporting structure to elevate the bag above the floor level. The new material which is used in these chairs fulfill the 'fill' property of bags. The supporting structure typically comprises of a particular metal , wood or plastic circumferential rim which is affixed or removably attached to one or more base members..The rim is adjusted in such a way to provide support to the rear end of the bag. The diameter chosen for the chair is less than that of the bag to provide it additional support. When a person sits on it the pellets displaces generally in the upward direction to provide vertical support which enhances the comfort level.The straps from the rim are suspended in outward direction to provide additional support.

The present day bean bag chairs hold the capacity to provide extra comfort in aquatic as well as outdoor environment. These bags have long life which means that they does not get damaged when comes in the contact of of sunrays, heat, salt, wind and water. The outdoor bean bag cover is made from a water proof material. This cover is half filled with pellets which is almost same to the procedure used in traditional bean bags. The covers specialty lies in its flexibility. It acquires a closed volume when a person sits on it to offer resistance to that persons weight. Due to this property bean bag chairs are difficult to break.

Generally the choice of fabric is based upon the conditions, situations and environment. But nylon fabric is more preferred because the quantity of pellets required to fill these bags are very less which helps in attaining extra comfort level which is not possible with old day bean bags. The woven nylon cover also allows water to flow inside the bean-bag when it is used in an aquatic environment. The water ultimately gets evaporated when the cover is removed from that environment.

What is Bean Bag Chair Filler Made From

2010-01-05T03:30:00.000-08:00

By Tricia Treherne

Traditional bean bag chairs are filled with polystyrene beads. Polystyrene beads make for terrific fill because they are light, airy, cushiony and resist compression. They form to your body and provide the ultimate comfort that comes from bean bag chairs. The reason they provide such excellent comfort is because of the way the beads are made and the material the beads are produced from.

The Making of Polystyrene Beads

Bean bag beads are made from polystyrene, also known as Styrofoam. Styrofoam is actually a brand name from the company Dow. To make polystyrene beads, plastics are combined with chemicals, producing an expandable resin called EPS. The EPS is heated causing the resin to expand. The heating is taken only far enough to get the resin to “pop” into the characteristic resilient, lightweight beads. If it is heated further the resin forms hard little beads and is useless for bean bag chair fill.

Virgin vs. Recycled

The plastics used to make the polystyrene beads can be either virgin or recycled. One of the great things about polystyrene beads is they provide an excellent use for recycled plastics. When you recycle your soda and drink bottles they can be made directly into polystyrene beads for bean bag chair refills. The polystyrene beads made from virgin plastics and recycled plastics are exactly the same, there is no difference in quality, longevity or comfort. The only way you can tell the difference between these types of beads is to ask your supplier the source of the plastics.

Some bean bag chairs come filled with 100% pre-consumer recycled polystyrene beads. These beads tend to be ground up packing materials and come in two forms. Some are ground up and look like smashed polystyrene. Others are ground up and then sorted to get uniform size beads. There is debate over which of these types of beads are more comfortable and which has the most longevity. Some say having the variations in size makes for a more comfortable bean bag chair that conforms better to your body while others say having the uniform beads is better because they compress less and stand up for a longer period of time. It seems that personal preference will be the final decision maker on this issue.

Foam Filler

The newest bean bag chairs come filled with high density foam which is super comfortable, conforms to your body and then springs back when you get up. The foam can be highly compressed for shipping which saves money. Once the seal is broken the foam springs up to its regular shape. These bean bag chairs tend to have a more structured shape because of the shape of the foam. There are hybrid chairs out there now that have a combination of polystyrene beads and foam pieces. You get the best of both worlds with a combination of polystyrene and foam.

Polystyrene is not recyclable or biodegradable. If you choose to purchase a bean bag chair, look for filler that is made from recycled plastic as your ideal choice. If that is not available your next best choice is to look for 100% pre-consumer recycled polystyrene in either the uniform or crushed variety. We have an obligation to consider the environment when making purchases. Ask your supplier for the source of their polystyrene beads and if they are using virgin beads check on the source. Virgin polystyrene beads, if made from non-recycled plastics, are irresponsible in this day and age especially when it is impossible to tell the difference between recycled plastic and new plastic in the final product.

What's So Great About Bean Bag Chairs?

2010-01-02T03:28:00.000-08:00

By Joshua Rogers

Bean bag chairs were the craze of the 70s. The reason they have made such a big comeback recently is really a no-brainer. Versatile, long wearing, "child proof," portable, practical and fun are keywords used in describing bean bag chairs, and why they remain popular in so many households - especially those with children.

Families today are concerned with comfort and convenience. They are also keyed into ways to stretch the family budget. When it comes to incorporating economical yet fun and imaginative ideas into decorating themes, bean bag chairs are a big plus!

Commercial quality bean bag chairs with reinforced stitching and child safety lock zippers are especially desirable. For a child's bedroom or playroom, or family room or living room where small children frequent, select one easy to keep clean. Leather-like vinyl covered beanbags, for instance, allow you to easily wipe away spills.

What Type of Bean Bag Works Best for You?

Kid-sized beanbags with a fun print, like animal fur - zebra, leopard, tiger, or spotted cow, are irresistible to toddlers. Older kids prefer denim; those with college sports logos, or made to look like a basket, baseball, soccer, or football are also popular. Make sure beanbags have a removable, washable cover for ease of cleaning, or are made from vinyl for wipe-clean care.

A faux fur bean bag chair in a bright color might be just the right finishing touch for a girl's bedroom... perhaps beside a desk and phone, where she flop in her comfy beanbag and chat with friends for hours.

Young adults away at school love the mobility and comfort of bean bag furniture, and the fact that they are great space-savers. They especially like beanbags bearing their own college or university logo. Easy to transfer from one end of the room to another or one dorm room to another, they can stack in a corner, in a closet, or on top of the bed when not in use.

Adults have bean bag chair preferences of their own. She might go for a stylish satin vinyl in a soft, flattering shade; he might boast about his desert storm camouflaged beanbag seating. Both like the durable nylon kind, especially rugged and long-wearing.

When it gets right down to it, there's a bean bag chair to suit every taste. And the best part is they are a cost-effective way to add extra seating to a room, or to replace large bulky pieces of seating to save space without compromising on comfort!

Great for Families on the Go!

A final word about bean bag furniture is their versatility outside the home! Bean bags are the last word in comfort: to take along to the fishing cabin or hunting lodge, while visiting distant relatives, for enjoying a firework display outside, or to bring along for small children to nap on while visiting friends.

What about while camping, to relax in after a long day of hiking and campfire cooking? They're a breeze to toss in the back of the van to take anywhere, and are so lightweight a child can carry them. Because they "mold" to fit the shape of space available, they don't take up much room.

Comfort, ease, style, convenience, and versatility - bean bag furniture has it all!

Sports and College Bean Bag Chairs Are Hot

2009-12-18T03:06:00.000-08:00

By Mitch Endick

Since the invention of the Sacco bean bag chair in nineteen sixty nine, bean bags have exploded in popularity. Beanbag chairs are available in many shapes, sizes and fabric choices. If you are fan of a sport, sports team, college or university, there is a wide variety of sports and college bean bag chairs.

College Bean Bag Chairs

Whether you attended a college or you are simply a fan of a school, many colleges and universities have licensed their names and logos for merchandising. Everything from tee shirts, lap blankets, coffee mugs and scores of other collectible items that represent various schools are very popular. These licensing arrangements even extend to the humble beanbag chair.

Fans of college sports teams can find almost every Division 1A school is represented in the available lines of beanbag chairs. So whether you are Bobcat from Ohio University, a Rebel from Ole Miss or a Trojan from the University of Southern California, there is a college bean bag chair that just right for you.

Professional Sport Beanbag Chairs

The popularity of professional sports is as great as ever. From a great American pastime like baseball to the smash mouth world of professional hockey, sports fans are tuned in. just like colleges and universities, professional sports leagues have licensed the team names and logos for merchandising. Fans and collectors can find merchandise representing nearly professional sport and sports team. Sports fans of all ages have found sport bean bag chairs to a great way to show their team spirit.

Sport bean bags are a great way to decorate a family room, den or entertainment room. Some fans create shrines to their favorite teams and sport bean bag chairs provide a great way to kick back.

A Word About Improvements in Beanbag Chair Design

Older beanbag chair designs were troublesome in some respects. Imagine flopping into your jumbo bean bag and finding yourself in a blizzard of small polystyrene beads. Failed seams and poor construction were often to blame and cleaning up those tiny plastic beads was a real pain. The small size of the beads often created a hazard to small kids and household pets.

The tiny beads were easily inhaled or ingested. Inhaled beads could quite easily become lodged in the lungs. Since the beads are not regarded as toxic, ingesting the beads was not as big of a health concern but could still result in serious problems.

The problems associated with poorly designed beanbags reached the point where the Consumer Product Safety Commission, an agency of the Federal government intervened. One problem the agency discovered had to do with the design of the zippers. The old design zippers could be easily opened by young children. After several product recalls, manufacturers began to produce zippers that were more kid safe. When buying any type of beanbag chair, always check to see that chair conforms to the latest standards issued by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Newer designs enclose the beads in an inner bag, reducing the chance of your chairs beads ending up in every corner of the house. Some newer bean bag chair designs often use a combination of poly plastic beads and shredded foam. The result is much more comfortable chair. The outer cover can be removed and cleaned without the stuffing leaking out. Depending on the type of fabric or material used for the cover, the outer cover can be laundered or dry cleaned.

Foof Bean Bag Chairs Are Great For the Family Room

2009-12-15T03:04:00.000-08:00

By Denny Wong

Foof Bean bags chairs, fuf chairs make a great addition to family rooms. In a family room there are usually activities around to place different members of a family. Foof Bean bags chairs, fuf chairs are just plain comfy, looks good and is easily moved around. Family room, game room or den, having one or more is a must.

Ottoman Bean Bag Footrest

Adding a fuf chair to the family room can be as simple as buying a small bean bag ottoman as a comfy footstool that can also be used by the kids as a soft seat. We all like to kick back and relax and doing that with an ottoman that is soft and fluffy will do nothing but enhance your enjoyment as you spend time with the family.

Bean Bags For Game Time

When playing board games and other family games such as cards, traditional chairs, especially those with arms can make it difficult for a player to sit as close to the game table as they would like too. A nice bean bag or chillum chair however will allow players to scoot that much closer so that they do not lose a second of their game playing. This is a great option for low tables or for a child to get a boost if everyone else is sitting on the floor and they cannot see the game board.

Fuf Chairs Add Comfort to TV Watching

If you have a lot of people over or if you simply have a large family, it can be difficult getting enough seating into a small family room and eventually the rest will gather on the floor to have a seat or simply lay down while they try to find a comfortable spot that won't send pins and needle shooting up and down their body. Adding a few bean bags takes care of that problem and in especially small rooms, fuf sacs become even more necessary because they are easily moved from the center of the into a nearby closet or small corner.

Arts and Crafts and Bean Bag Chairs

Even with the family all in one room, that does not mean that everyone will want to do the same thing. While some are playing with their video games, others might be watching tv and still more might be playing tradition board or card games. Having a bean bag will allow someone who may want to finish an arts and crafts project such as knitting a pretty sweater or getting that needle point picture completed can simply get their own little space far enough away to set up their projects while giving others room to walk about.

Bean Bags As Stand Alone Furnitures

There can be plenty of seating in a room but not enough other furnishings. Adding a small ottoman or bean bag chair as a center piece or can add color to a low key room or fill an empty and open space. The sky is the limit when it comes to shopping for, buying and owning bean bags and fuf chairs.

You can relax, read a book, watch TV or just fall asleep curled up on your bean bag chair bed and recharge your batteries ready for the next day’s work.

Bean Bag Chair Beds And Support

Whilst a regular bed can provide support and comfort for a few years, a bean bag chair bed can provide unrivalled comfort and support indefinitely. The nature of a bean bag chair bed is such that it will mould to your body shape but automatically return to its regular shape when you move. As a result, the support it offers is unparalleled. A regular bed will eventually simply bow beyond repair. Bean bag chair beds are less likely to do that because they return to shape more quickly.

Another advantage bean bag chair beds have over regular beds is that they are recyclable, as such. With a mattress from a regular bed, the springs go and you have to replace it every few years. A bean bag chair bed can just be refilled or restuffed after a few years when it does start to sag. Refilling is much cheaper than buying a new mattress and a lot easier too because you can have the stuffing shipped to your home at little cost and do it in your own time.

Every individual should aim to get a few hours of relaxation in every day. With a product like the bean bag chair bed, it is not hard to make sure that you get those hours in. The comfort, support and cheap nature of the bean bag chair bed make it impossible to resist so give into it! You know you want to!

Bean Bag Chairs Are an Ergonomic Solution For the Home and Office

2009-12-09T02:58:00.000-08:00

By Aaron Weiss

Bean bag chairs are specific type of furniture that continues to be a favorite for children and adults. Introduced in the 1960s, this type of furniture has continued to be a popular choice for children, college students, and even adults. In the mid 1990s, these chairs began being sold using Styrofoam and PVC pellets to reduce costs and increase comfort, this made them even more popular in the dorm rooms. The light-weight contents made it easy to move and re-arrange these chairs around with little effort. They are also perfect for studying.

During the dot-com bubble, bean bag furniture was a staple which characterized the mentality of the time. Those who graduated college and found themselves as the leaders of this particular time, brought their bags of bean from the dorm room into the office. Even after the bubble, these chairs have continued to be a favorite in kids bedrooms, homes, offices, and even pediatric waiting rooms.

Over the years, these bags began to be manufactured using a variety of fabrics such as vinyl, velvet, silk, poly-cotton blends, and many more. Vinyl is a popular choice as a fabric due to its ability to easily be cleaned, even sanitized.

Because the bean material can be moved and shaped anyway you want it, or how your body conforms to it, bean bag chairs can be a very ergonomic seating choice. Since you are sitting the floor, you will sit back more in a chair of this sort. This puts less pressure on the lower back and lumbar sections of your spine, which typically experience more pressure from the average office chairs. When leaning back in a chair of this sort, your giving your back a nice relaxing break from the pressure of sitting down often. Re-fluffing is also a great way to add more support after a sitting in a chair for some time.

Hardcore video game enthusiasts prefer to sit closer to the television set and closer to the ground when playing for long periods of time. Bean bag chairs are perfect for this as they are low to the ground and conform to the gamer's body while playing.

Because bean chairs are popular with children, teenagers and adults, they are available in many sizes. Don't be surprised if you find a massive chair that engulfs the user, they do exist.

Since working on a laptop while sitting in a bean chair is a popular seating method, bean bag lap desks have become popular. These desks raise the warm and hot laptops off the lap and on to a cooler more stable plane. It is like an office on your lap!

Over time, bean bag fillings will begin to deteriorate and flatten. Why purchase a new bean bag, when you can just order the bean bag fillings and re-fill your furniture and save money.

Bean Bag Chairs For One And All

2009-12-06T02:55:00.000-08:00

By Joy Burk

Bean bag chairs are versatility defined! They are the type of furniture that can be used by one and all. They're perfect for the young, the not-so-young, and the young at heart. Children, college students, bachelors, bachelorettes, newly-married, those celebrating their silver anniversary - anyone can enjoy the benefits of bean bag chairs.

The Young

Let's take look at the young, for example. If children had to be summed up in one word that word would probably be energy! If anyone has children, they know that rough-housing is not always reserved for the great outdoors. Parents are often concerned for the welfare of their furniture and also worried about those sharp corners connecting with their children's heads! But with bean bag chairs those worries are kept to a minimum. Bean bags allow kids to run around, play and even jump on top of them! If the bean bag loses a few beads, they can easily be replaced! If a drink gets spilled or some other mess is made, they can easily be cleaned (especially those made of vinyl)!

All good things must come to an end, or so we're told. Childhood lasts just a few years and then it's over. What comes next? College - the best time of your life, and the time of limited space! Living in a 6ft by 6ft dorm room, students learn out of necessity to maximize space. They require multi-faceted furniture that can easily fit in their closet of a room and still provide them with a comfortable place to study, relax, nap, or "veg". In the age of laptops, who studies at a desk these days anyway? What type furniture meets each of these requirements? Bean bag chairs are the answer!

The Not-So-Young

Then there are the not-so-young who have begun to build a home for themselves and need to furnish that home! What better way to do so then to accent with bean bag chairs? Tight finances stereotypically define new couples and young families. Bean bags are less expensive than traditional furniture. They are also unique and much more fun! Personalize your home today. Bean bag chairs allow you to stay within your budget and make a great statement in one fell swoop.

The Young at Heart

Lastly we come to the young at heart. The older we get the more we value comfort! Have you ever tried to sit cross-legged on the floor playing a board or card game for more than a few minutes at a time? Your legs start falling asleep; your back hurts... so you switch to lying on your stomach propped up by your elbows. This just causes your elbows to get red and sore. What's the solution? Bean bag chairs! Pear-shaped bean bag chairs have a unique form that gives them a little more structure and a back to rest against - much more comfortable than a regular giant sack of bean! Now you can sit at floor level in comfort with a back to lean up against! These chairs make it possible for you to play games with the grandkids, relax while reading your favorite book or newspaper or even lounge in comfort watching your preferred television shows. Your bean bag will form to your body providing you with the most comfortable seat in the house!

No matter what stage of life you're in, you are sure to enjoy the ultimate comfort sitting in your bean bag chair.

Bean Bag Chairs - No Chair is More Fun

2009-12-03T02:52:00.000-08:00

By Patrick Slater

Is there anything more fun than bean bag chairs? I don't think so. But even with all its fun aspects, you probably didn't know that when you sit in a bean bag chair, you're sitting in designer Italian furniture!

That's right, the bean bag chair was first introduced way back in 1969. It was created as a pear-shaped, soft leather chair by three Italian designers, but didn't catch on right away. Eventually the shape was slightly changed, the leather moved to vinyl, and the interior was filled with Styrofoam pellets. Mass production began and the rest, as they say, is history.

A bean bag chair is unique because it moves with you. If you adjust your seating position in a standard chair, the chair remains where it is. Not so with a bean bag chair. A bean bag chair fits any shape or size, any height or weight. It can accommodate one or two people, and the beans can be adjusted to give you support wherever you need it.

The bean bag itself comes in so many shapes, materials and designs that they're almost impossible to count. For ultimate comfort and warmth, choose a leather or suede cover. Microfiber is a new, popular alternative because it cleans up easier than suede, but still has that soft-to-the-touch feel.

Vinyl is a very popular choice not only because of price, but because it's so easy to clean. For kids' rooms, TV rooms, playrooms, or any room where activity and food might mix, vinyl is the perfect choice. It also can take a beating, and if it does get damaged, is pretty easy to repair. Many vinyl beanbags come with vinyl repair kits, just in case.

Cloth, of course, is a great covering. It can be any color or design to suit your tastes or mood. You can buy bean bag chairs with the logo of your favorite college or professional team. Or get one that looks like a baseball, soccer ball, or football. Many cloth beanbag chairs have the beans inside a plastic bag, so you can unzip the cloth covering, throw it in the laundry, and your chair is good as new!

Bean bag chairs can be made from Sunbrella fabric, so they can stand up to outdoor use. Or how about a faux fur chair? Animal prints! Your imagination is the only limit, because there are companies out there that will put together a custom bag for you according to your description.

Look for a bean bag chair that has double-stitched seams, especially if it'll be used by kids. Children will dive and jump on these-they can't help it. So make sure your chair will stand up to the inevitable abuse.

But a bean bag chair is the perfect, inexpensive, portable seating solution that can be customized for your decor. Go check out some bean bag chairs today!

Why the Bean Bag Chair Should Be Considered a Furniture Icon

2009-11-30T02:50:00.000-08:00

By Denise Patrick

Why is the Bean Bag Chair so popular? Is it because it is so comfortable? Is it the design? Or is it just so original and such an icon in our society, that we can't help but love them. The Bean Bag Chair hit the scene in 1969, when Gatti, Paolini, and Teodora who were working for the Zanotta Company, accidentally discovered how to make a new kind of chair called the "Sacco". The chair was pear shaped and made out of vinyl and Styrofoam pellets filling the inside. The Zanotta Company was a Styrofoam factory and all the leftover pieces of Styrofoam where put into bags. Tired workers would sometimes sit or lay on them for a few minutes rest. It was comfortable, and the idea was born.

The pear shaped Bean Bag Chairs contained one of two types of Styrofoam pellets. Virgin pellets, or as they became known as beans, were made specifically for use in the chairs. Recycled pellets, or beans, are made from hard molded Styrofoam that has been ground up. These pieces of Styrofoam are pieces that would be used to protect televisions when packing them in a box for shipping. The material is not biodegradable and would have ended up in a landfill. Now that's not exactly a "green" product!

The Sacco became so popular that it is now identified with the 70's and the hippie lifestyle. The chair easily conformed to the body and was seen as a party or lounging chair. Meanwhile, doctors were recommending bean bag chairs for those with back problems or for those who had just had back surgery. Bean Bag Chairs soon changed shape and style, with many variations available. It was around that time that the name evolved (no one was referring to them as the sacco) into what we know today the Bean Bag Chair. It made sense because you can hear the beans move around when you sat on the chair or move it around.

The original chairs were made of vinyl which is not very comfortable, especially to those wearing shorts or a skirt on a hot day. The vinyl was hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Also, the Styrofoam pellets didn't always hold the chair in a solid position, and would eventually lose shape as you sat in it, providing no support at all. Manufacturers of Bean Bag Chairs met the need with removable covers in softer fabrics such as corduroy, micro suede, cotton and polyester. Urethane foam beans replaced the Styrofoam beans, as this type of foam was much more durable and maintained its shape better.

Bean Bag Chairs weaved in and out of our furniture focus, but made a big comeback in the late 90's. Today, most everyone loves these types of chairs. There are so many styles to choose from and it is a popular item for kids, high schoolers and those heading off to college, for their dorm rooms. One company even makes a nifty bean bag chair that turns into a spare bed. They make a fashion statement, with many color and designs, and some even resemble real furniture. All in all, they are yet another great American icon that has survived many culture shifts and continue to remain popular due to their comfort, durability and style.

Why a Pear Shaped Bean Bag Chair?

2009-11-27T02:47:00.000-08:00

By Amber Minnick

Bean bag chairs have been around for a long while and are now gaining back their popularity. A unique seat that adds a fun flair to any place where comfort is desired. Not always remembered, almost always forgotten, these interesting alternatives deserve our consideration. Stepping away from the conventional type of lounge chair, bag chairs can add a uniquely comfortable seat, to anywhere we relax and wind down.

The pear shaped bean bag chair is a fascinating prospect to this otherwise round chair. When a pear shaped design is used there is a substantial amount of back support added to the already comfortable seat. In the traditional bag chair, there is minimal to no back support, which will cause you to be in a more lying down position. Bag chairs with the pear shaped design, allow the lounger to do those upright activities such as reading, working on a laptop, playing video games and a myriad of activities that would be uncomfortable in the round version of the chair with no back support. They allow the beans to mold to your shape all the way up the back to the neck.

With this in mind we need to explore the idea that all bean bag chairs are not created equal, the quality of the materials used is something that should be considered. The fabric quality, construction, type and quality of the filler and the safety features are all things to be considered. There are many lower quality bean bags and bean bag patterns out there that will not provide the quality and comfort higher quality bean bags provide.

Look for high quality fabrics, seams that are double-stitched, and filling that is made from material that will continue to provide comfort for years to come. Safety features are very important and all bean bag chair manufacturers are required by law to provide each chair with double locking zippers. Making your own chair will not provide these safety features nor will it provide the strength and durability of high quality upholstery grade fabrics and double stitched seams.

Bean bag chairs make great pieces of lounge furniture and can be enjoyed for years to come. Picking the right chair with all of the safety and durability features and also the added "Pear" shaped design is the key. Providing the softness and comfort of a bag chair and also great back support makes pear shaped bean bags the chair to choose. Choosing a lower quality less expensive chair will waste money and give a bad opinion of these extremely comfortable and unique chairs.

Bean Bags Chairs Make Great Kids Furniture.

2009-11-24T02:44:00.000-08:00

By Ian Patterson

I had forgotten just how comfortable bean bags are. I just recently purchased a kids beanbag chair for my granddaughter and tried it out - just to bring back old memories. Beanbags are the funkiest type of chairs and the comfort is unbelievable. Bean bags are actually very conducive to good health of ones back and spine in that the bags prevent any excess stress. This prevents any long or short term damage to ones back joints and ones health in general, just right for kids growing up.

Beanbags chairs make great furniture that is flexible enough to support ones back, regardless of their position.
Bean bags are

* Comfortable to sit in while watching TV or just hanging out
* Fun to play on, kids love to romp and roll on them
* They are colorful and come in many different styles and materials
* Long lasting and hard wearing
* Make great furniture
* Can be used anywhere.

My granddaughter has already learned to jump from the sofa onto the soft chair and takes great delight in doing so. Bean Bags chairs are full of soft filler and because Bean Bags chairs are frame-less, there are no hard edges or sharp corners for a child to bump into. The urethane foam inside is said to last much longer than those "beans" which the old style bean bags contained when I was growing up. It is the urethane foam that is responsible for the chair having that soft, spongy and shape-able effect. I am certain that this chair will provide her with many years of fun and comfort.

Bean Bags are easy to clean. The kid's bean bag chair that we bought has a removable cover as do many quality bean bag chairs. When the kids spill their grape juice all over it, don't worry too much about it being ruined. All you have to do is to wipe away the mess from the Bean Bag chair before it dries. If you didn't see the accident, then it is a simple matter of unzipping the cover and washing.

Many kids chairs are filled with polystyrene beads and some models feature cores that come with a child-resistant, locking zipper, making refilling easier while protecting your child by keeping them out of the filling.

Even though she is old enough to climb up onto the couch by herself, she now prefers her own place to sit.

Make your children happy and surprise them with this adorable, fun and very comfortable for seating Kids Bean Bags. Choose any of these decorative and imaginative beanbag chairs for all the kids in your life.

After a fun day of play our granddaughter will settle down to watch TV or read a book on her beanbag chair. She loves the comfort and fun of her own bean bag chair.
I can still see the look of surprise and the laughter when she first tried her bean bag chair. I think I'll get one and join her on the floor.

Government Says Bean Bag Chairs Are Unsafe For Children

2009-11-21T23:41:00.000-08:00

By Travis Z. Edwards

The bean bag chair craze started in the 1970s as an alternative to standard furniture. Before we knew it, there was a bean bag in every home. However, the increase in popularity also led to an increase in bean bag related child deaths, with the blame falling squarely on negligent manufacturers.

Each chair is filled with millions of tiny, pea-sized "beans" that can get everywhere. Many chairs were made of cheap materials that would rip easily, causing all these beans to spill out on the floor. Children would put these beans in their mouths, often choking on them. Other tragedies happened as well. Bean bags came with unsafe zippers, which allowed kids to unzip the bean bags and crawl inside, suffocating on the beans.

Since then, there has been a huge government recall of these unsafe bean bag chairs by the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission). Bean bags with unsafe zippers (zippers that children could unzip) were especially targeted. Many cost-cutting manufacturers were hit hard by this recall.

When ordering a bean bag chair for your children, make sure it is completely safe. Here are some things to look for:

* Double zipper- this prevents kids from unzipping their bean bag chairs
* Durable fabric- if the fabric won't tear, the insides won't spill out
* Interior foam instead of beans- foam is safer than the hazardous beans

Few retailers carry only child-safe products, so be sure to do your homework. Their chairs all have a tamper-proof double-zipper that keeps kids out of the inside of a bean bag chair. They also are covered with a soft, durable "twill" fabric that won't rip as easy as vinyl or denim.

Perhaps the safest feature of these chairs is that they aren't filled with beans at all. On the contrary, they're filled with soft foam that is impossible for children to suffocate on. This foam will never break down, it will always stay soft.

As with any toy, be sure to make sure your bean bag chairs are child safe. Educate yourself on the dangers of hazardous bean bag chairs on the market.

Bean Bag Chairs Compared to Regular Furniture

2009-11-18T23:37:00.000-08:00

By Claire Calkin

Bean bag chairs still remain one of the worlds many mysteries. How did they come about, who or what inspired the shape, are they safe, and where can I get one? To answer these questions and more we need to look into the 1960’s when this design was first uncovered. Created by an Italian design and first called a "Sacco", the bean bag chairs became greatly popular and then mass-produced. Today this design is still remains basically the same with exception to the fabric, filling, the original headrest and additional safety features.

Bean bag chairs are the only furniture other than plastic patio chairs that can be easily relocated. This makes them ideal for flats, the poolside and any other outdoor area. (Check the waterproof qualities on the tag.) Also ideal for use on new carpet or floor lining as these clever designs won’t leave a dent in your floor. Bean bag chairs can be found in every color of the rainbow with so many designs and colors to choose from including pet beanbag beds, leather, denim, fur and suede fabrics. There is a design and color to suit any home with the exception being a too classic home may not necessarily suit a bean bag, try the den or playroom instead. There are also bean bags fabrics that are waterproof and can repel liquids that may them ideal for pets or little children. One of the fun things about having a bean bag chairs is deciding where to put it.

These wonderful creations are also great at saving you money. Why spend thousands on a new lounge suite when you can buy modern, furniture set in the few hundreds. Bean bag chairs can be found filled already or with just the case so they will need to be filled. If this is the case then you will need a helper. They can hold the bag open while you pull the polystyrene balls in. Stand away from a door as even the slightest of breeze can cause a small snowstorm in your lounge. Make sure to stuff the bag incredibly full if you suffer from a bad back or sore neck. To check that the bag is filled enough, check that there are still 6 inches between the widest point of the bean bags. If you prefer a loose comfortable fit only fill the bag ¾ of the way for a fuller fit try filling it as close to the top as you can while making sure it can still close.

Decorate a room with bean bags, they are affordable, bright, welcoming, cosy and fashionable. All your friends will be over to enjoy trying out your new bean bags. To get the perfect shape from your new bean bag chairs there are a few ways to go about this. Sit in the middle of the bag, not too high or too low. The bag will provide a supported yet comfortable seat. Make a bean bags the main feature of the room if you are going for a modern look. Brighten up any dull room with a colored beanbag. Ideal as gifts for students leaving for uni, they can fit into any space are lightweight and easy to move. They can blend in tastefully with any room if the right color and fabric have been selected. When it comes to bean bag chairs and children, there are a few safety issues to be considered here. While beanbags are safe they pose a risk if loose beads escape from the bean bags. Try to find a bean bag chairs supplier that will line you bean bags when they make it with a safety liner. This ensures that the beans will be extra secure in the beanbag.

Answers To A Few Of The Most Frequently Asked Questions About Bean Bag Chairs

2009-11-15T23:34:00.000-08:00

By Tricia Treherne

What is a Removable Cover and Do I Need One?

A removable cover is a cover that comes on top of the bean bag chair. The cover can be taken off of the bean bag chair. This is great because bean bag chairs sit on the floor and by their very nature get dirty. Having a removable cover means that you can remove the cover, throw it in the wash and your chair is as good as new. The other advantage to having a removable cover is that you can purchase additional covers and interchange them depending on your mood and your style.

Should you choose a bean bag chair with a removable cover? If you are purchasing the bean bag chair for a child or it will be used in a family room around food and drink a removable cover is a very good idea. If the bean bag chair will be in a bedroom, rarely used with food, or used primarily by adults, a removable cover is nice but not really necessary.

What is a Waterproof Liner and Do I Need One?

A waterproof liner is a special liner used in place of the typical cotton twill liner. The waterproof liner is made of a special fabric that either resists water penetration or completely blocks it. A waterproof liner is really useful in very specific situations: for therapeutic reasons, for people with disabilities or for long term care homes. In general though, a waterproof liner is not necessary.

The special fabric has a very tight weave and does not let air through easily. This means it takes a few minutes for the chair to be comfortable when you first sit down. For the average bean bag chair user, a waterproof liner will not be needed but for those with special circumstances, a good waterproof liner can be super effective and can make your chair last much longer.

How Do I Know Which Size Bean Bag Chair Is Right For Me?

Picking the right sized bean bag chair over the Internet can be a bit of a challenge because you do not get to try them out. Here are a few guidelines to follow to help you make the best choice.

Go by weight. A child sized chair (circumference of approximately 100 inches or 2 ft x 2 ft) will generally support a child 50 - 60 pounds or less. Older children and teenagers tend to prefer a mid-sized adult bean bag chair to a kid's sized bean bag chair (approximate size 2.5ft x 2.5ft). Adult sized chairs support any weight but if you are a larger person a larger chair will suit you better (approximate size - greater than 3 ft).

Go by height. The best determinant of the perfect bean bag chair is height. If you are less than 5'5" a small to medium sized chair is going to work well, something 3 ft tall and around 3 ft to 4 ft wide. If you are over 5'5", you're best to look at a chair that is over 3 ft tall and at least 4 ft wide.

Go by shape. The round barrel shaped chairs are great for all ages and sizes. They provide great lounging comfort but do not provide much in the way of back and neck support when sitting up. The pear-shaped chairs are also great for all ages and sizes. They too provide great lounging comfort but due their shape are more chair-like and offer great back and neck support.

What Fabric Should I Choose?

Choosing the right fabric for your bean bag chair can be tough. The most obvious factor is to think of the color you want and then find the fabric that best matches. If you have more than one choice, think of how and where the bean bag chair will be used. If the chair will be in a high profile location in your home and you want it to blend in, choose a fabric that most closely matches the furniture in the room. Request fabric swatches for any fabrics you are interested in and then you know for sure what you are getting.

The other factor to consider is use and durability. If the bean bag chair will be used regularly choose a durable fabric that will stand up to wear and tear and can be washed easily. For instance, the new microfiber fabrics are lovely and soft and stand up well over time. In addition, they are washable and dryable. Cotton twill is a terrific fabric because it is soft and comfy to sit on and easy to maintain. Fabrics like the fuzzy fur are super popular with children but they do not last quite as long because the fur packs down and loses some of its furriness. Denim and corduroy are great because they soften over time and they are easy to spot clean.

Bean Bag Chairs - Trendy or Passe

2009-11-12T23:31:00.000-08:00

By Tricia Treherne

When I mention the words bean bag chair, I get a funny look and the question, “Are they back in style?” My response is “Absolutely, but not the way you remember”. Bean bag chairs have come a long way since they were popular in the 1970’s or from their origin for that matter.

Originating in the 1960’s by an Italian designer, bean bag chairs were soon mass produced. Although much of the basic design is the same, bean bag chairs have been improved considerably making them great competition for conventional furniture.

Design

Bean bag chairs have gone through some major design changes over the years. The standard bean shape still exists but there are many more shapes to choose from depending on your decorating needs. Bean bag chairs come in round shapes which make great pillows but offer somewhat less back support than the bean shaped ones. The pancake chairs are great because they make a terrific body pillow, allow room for two and due to their firmness, double as an ottoman or coffee table. You can also find loveseats and sofas in the bean bag style.

The newest designs have a more rigid structure and make the bean bag chair more of a proper chair. They come filled with polystyrene beads, foam or a combination. These designs are very ergonomic providing support ensuring you sit in a natural position. The most advanced style of bean bag chairs is the video lounger which provides a specialized chair just for gamers.

Safety

In the past, some bean bag chairs have been a safety hazard due to poor zippers and seam construction. Today’s quality bean bag chairs are made with double sewn seams, double, locking zippers and comply with US Flammability Standards and CPSC guidelines for zipper closures. With these higher standards, bean bag chairs are safe for all ages and stand up to rigorous use.

Trendy

The modern bean bag chair is a distant relation to its older cousin. No longer are you limited in your choice of fabric, pattern, color, or size. Bean bag chairs come in sofas, loveseats, super large and super small. There are even ottomans in both cube and rectangle shapes that work great for extra seating, as end tables or benches. The fabrics used in today’s bean bag chairs are high quality and range from leather, suede, cotton, denim, sunbrella, fun fur, fleece, corduroy, velour and vinyl, to name but a few. There are as many different prints available as you can possibly imagine which means they will fit in with any décor.

I think the greatest thing about the modern bean bag chair is how versatile they are. Since they come in so many fabrics and patterns, they can be added to any room and look stylish. You are left with a piece of furniture that can be moved easily, can be recovered when you remodel, can be refilled and provides exceptional comfort and support. What more can you ask of a piece of furniture?
Best of All

Bean bag chairs are inexpensive. You can purchase a couple of bean bag chairs instead of arm chairs, save yourself hundreds of dollars and still have a stylish and trendy space. You get the support of regular furniture, you get the comfort of regular furniture, and you get the quality of regular furniture, what more is there? Trendy or Passé? You be the judge.

Bean Bag Chair Gone Flat - How to Refill Your Bean Bag Chair

2009-11-09T23:28:00.000-08:00

By Tricia Treherne

How on earth do you refill your bean bag chair? It seems almost impossible to consider how to contain the polystyrene beads. They redefine static cling, fly everywhere with little incentive and resist containment as if they had a mind of their own. How do you open the zipper of the super safe bean bag chair you purchased – they are designed to stay closed, not to open! Follow these simple steps and you will have a full, comfy bean bag chair once again.

1. Ideal Filling Conditions

Set yourself up inside in an area that has no breeze. Any airflow will cause the polystyrene beads to fly everywhere you do not want them to be. Find someone to help you as four hands are better than two when it comes to filling bean bag chairs.

2. Opening the Zipper

If you have a double locking zipper or if it is enfolded within a seam, uncover it enough to be able to slide a paper clip into the pull tab. This will allow you to pull the zipper back and get access to the center. If there is a little “lock” on the zipper, take a pair of pliers and pry the lock off. You can then unzip the zipper. You will have to use pliers to reapply the lock afterwards to ensure your bean bag chair zipper stays closed and is safe for use.

Your chair may come with a liner so opening the first layer is no problem. If your chair does not have a liner, do not open it until you are right ready to add the fill or disaster will strike.

3. Strategy

When you are completely ready, take your bag of refill, still sealed and have your helper hang on to it nearby. Open the zipper on your bean bag chair and slowly open it up. Be very careful and moving slowly, hold open the bean bag chair so your helper can gently place the bag of refill into the opening. Open the bag of filler and slowly add its contents to the bean bag chair. By placing the bag of filler directly into the bean bag chair you contain the beads so they are not flying everywhere as they are wont to do.

Working together with your partner, empty the bag of filler into the bean bag chair. It is not necessary to remove the old fill; it will mix in with the new and provide great comfort. Depending on the amount of fill you have and the size of your bean bag chair you may or may not have to add it all. Add enough fill so that your bean bag chair is firm but not solid. Everyone has their personal preference for how soft or firm they prefer for their bean bag chair so adjust as necessary.

Once the fill is added re-zip the zipper, ensure it is locked and you are done. You now have a refilled chair! The only thing left to do is to try and round up those pesky little beads that escaped during the filling process. Good luck!

Bean Bag Chairs - What is All the Rave About?

2009-11-03T23:23:00.000-08:00

By Amber Liddell

Unlike years ago, today's bean bags are even better! When many adults think of bean bag chairs they think of a round shiny vinyl, cheap looking "sack" that is filled with hard beads that you sit on and the beans go crunch. Not the case....today you most commonly find bean bag chairs that are filled with a high-quality foam filling or polystyrene beads that bounce back when you squeeze them. These materials last a very long time and keep it looking and feeling as soft as the day you bought it. Outer material of bean bag chairs today are materials such as denim, cotton, leather, suede and soft vinyl. You typically will not find these high quality fabrics and fillers at your typical discount store but there are many online stores and furniture stores that carry a variety of sizes and colors of bean bag chairs.

When researching a bean bag chair you want to consider if you want a liner for your chair. Liners are available with many of the bean bag furniture styles out there today and it will allow you to take the outer cover off to wash it. Most fabrics can be washed in mild soap on delicate and be just fine, again, prolonging the life of your bean bag chair. Without the liner you will not be able to remove the cover and will have to spot clean. Liners also allow for ease of re-filling your chair.

There are so many uses for bean bag chairs and furniture. Commonly, a bean bag chair is used in a game room or rec room at home. With sizes ranging from 3 feet around to 7 feet long, bean bags can quickly become the most comfortable furniture in your home. My personal favorite is the foam lounger that comes in beautiful suede fabrics and is available in 5, 6 and 7 foot sizes. The colors are practical colors that match most any home. Another common place for a bean bag is a child's room. You will find that if you customize a bean bag chair with your child's name it will become your child's own personal chair and soon be where you will find her reading, singing, playing and just relaxing. Talk about a great gift! May be you have a graduate going away to college or getting an apartment, if this is the case, a bean bag chair will make the perfect dorm room furniture or a great discount couch for his new living room. So many ideas, so many options.

Thinking of bean bag chairs in a corporate setting, you often see bean bags in schools, libraries, daycares and children's hospital settings. They are wonderful for kids of all ages and offer a different learning and healing environment than a typical hard chair, the floor, or acheap couch. Some innovative corporations are also starting to get bean bag chairs for team meetings or as another option to the conference room table. Bean bags give a sense of relaxation so they can attribute to a more focused learning environment.

Before You Purchase Your Next Bean Bag Chair

2009-10-31T23:18:00.000-07:00

By Ted Koclanes

Bean Bag Chairs are back.

Remember the 1970's when bean bags were so popular?
But in the 1970's bean bag chairs were filled up with real beans
which made the bean bags hard as a rock and heavy to move around
The real beans also began to get rotten over time and would attract insects.

What are bean bags of today made from?

Bean Bags of today are made with super high quality materials like denim, cotton,
polyester blend, microfiber, microsuede, vinyl, nylon, velvet, velveteen, and even real leather. These furniture grade materials of today are much more durable and give you the feel that you are sitting in a sofa. The comfort these chairs can deliver is out of this world.

What is bean bag chair filled up with?

Bean Bags and Fuf (foof) chairs use different types of filling to fill them up. Most
standard bean bag chairs are filled with a white polystyrene foam pellet. This is the most common type of fill on the market. The next type of filling used is polyurethane foam. The polyurethane foam does not break down over time like the white pellets type does. The polyurethane foam filled chair like Fuf (Foof) or poof chairs are filled with are super soft and comfortable. The chair molds to the shape of your body. When you get up the chair slowly rises as it fills back up with air.

What is type of chair costs more?

The polyurethane foam filled bean bag is going to be the most expensive to buy initially. But here are a few things to consider when buying your next bean bag. A standard bean bag chair might be less expensive at the start, but after your bean bag goes flat as the white pellets begin to get slowly smashed down over time. You will need to purchase additional filling to recharge your bean bag. This can add up.

What is type of chair should I buy?

When you are in the market for your next bean bag type chair remember several things. How much do I want to spend on a chair? How big of a bean bag chair will we need? How much space will I have to put the chair in? Bean bag and Fuf ( foof ) chairs of today come in sizes from extra small to extra extra large. Make sure you have enough room to fit the chair when it arrives. What type of filling would I prefer to use. The polyurethane foam which is super soft, never needs refilling or the standard fill type bean bag. If you want to match something in your home to your bean bag. Ask the company for a sample swatch before you buy the chair. This way you will know the chair will match exactly.

Is Your Bean Bag Chair Safe

2009-10-28T23:15:00.000-07:00

By Tricia Treherne

Bean bag chairs can pose a safety hazard to children and have in the past resulted in the death of children. Traditional bean bag chairs are filled with polystyrene beads which can leak out of bean bag chairs. Additionally, the zippers on some bean bag chairs are easily opened allowing for easy access to the filler. Children are attracted to the filler, breathe it in or eat it and suffocate. Some children have climbed inside the bean bag chairs and have suffocated. If you are considering purchasing a bean bag chair and its zipper opens easily, do not purchase it. If you own a bean bag chair with an easily opened zipper and have children around, you should get rid of it.

Bean Bag Chair Recalls

In the mid-1990’s there were recalls of bean bag chairs with unsafe zippers. The recall came about because of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The CPSC is an Independent Federal Regulatory Agency. CPSC works to save lives and keep families safe by reducing the risk of injuries and deaths associated with consumer products. They do this by developing voluntary standards with industry, issuing and enforcing mandatory standards or banning consumer products if no feasible standard would adequately protect the public, obtaining the recall of products or arranging for their repair, conducting research on potential product hazards, informing and educating consumers through the media, state and local governments, private organizations, and by responding to consumer inquiries.

Industry Standards

From recommendations from the CPSC, industry developed a voluntary standard for bean bag chairs. The standard’s performance requirements, effective in November 1996, modify the bean bag chair’s design to prevent toddlers and young children from opening the zipper. Specifically, chairs intended to be refilled must have a locking zipper that opens only with a special tool. Chairs not intended to be refilled must have a permanently disabled zipper or no zipper. In addition, the requirements include permanent warning labels for bean bag chairs. The label wording differs, depending on whether the chairs can be refilled. Durability testing is also part of the standard. This is intended to ensure that materials, which could tear easily and allow pellets to escape and be inhaled, are not used in manufacturing bean bag chairs.

Safety Features to Look For

If you are considering purchasing a bean bag chair, look for a quality bag that specifically states that it has a double, locking zipper. Other features to consider are double sewn seams and tough, durable fabric. Double sewn seams or flat-felled seams are important because they prevent leaks and stand up to rigorous use. Fabric choice is important because it needs to stand up to wear and tear. Another option is to find a bean bag chair with an inner bag and an outer cover. This provides two layers making the chair tougher and safer.

The last feature to consider is the flammability of the filler. Look for bean bag chairs that meet US flammability standards. The flammability standards ensure that the polystyrene filler will not ignite if exposed to flame.

Bean bag chairs are fantastic for their comfort and convenience. They are the perfect lounger for young and old alike. They do have their challenges though so be aware and make an educated choice when you purchase a bean bag chair. It is important to ensure the bean bag chair you own or are purchasing is safe for your family.

How to Choose a Bean Bag Chair

2009-10-22T23:09:00.000-07:00

By Tricia Treherne

Bean Bag Chairs are a great way to dress up any room. They are great in a child’s room as the perfect support for the video player or as a nest for the reader in your family. Bean Bag Chairs work great as extra seating in your family room, they can be easily stored in a closet and pulled out when the kids have friends over or when you host a party. Sitting in a bean bag chair is a cozy nest for your guests and is much better than sitting in a hard chair.

Bean Bag Chairs come in such a wide range of fabrics these days that they do not have to be hidden away; they can be a part of your décor. With the high quality fabric and the unique designs available choosing a Bean Bag Chair that suits your room is as simple following a few simple steps.

1. Fabric

With the wide variety of bean bags available on the market, there is a wide variety of fabrics available. Vinyl is very common in bean bag chairs, although some people feel that vinyl is too sticky and not as comfortable as cloth bean bag chairs. Vinyl is easy to wipe up and keep clean which is a definite advantage. When selecting vinyl ensure the fabric uses lead-free vinyl inks. Other bean bags come in leather, fun fur, microfibre, denim and cotton. If possible when choosing a fabric, look for a bean bag chair that has a liner so that the cover can be removed and washed periodically.

Regardless of the fabric you prefer, look for a high quality fabric. The fabric should use lead-free vinyl inks and stand up to wear and tear as they are pushed and pulled in all directions. Since they sit on the floor the fabric must be durable to ensure the bean bag lasts for many years. The seams should be double stitched with clear nylon for added strength as you do not want the bean bag chair to spring a leak. The zippers should be locking to ensure the safety of children. The zippers must be locked to keep children from being able to open the bag and ingest the fill. As well the bean bag should be double zippered to ensure the safety of the bag and to keep the fill inside the bag.

2. Size

When looking for a bean bag chair, look at the shape that best suits your needs. Bean bag chairs with a pear shaped design offer better back support because they are taller and cover more of your body. The flatter pancake shaped bean bag chair works great for two people or as a coffee table substitute. The pancake works better as a lounger than as a chair. Some bean bag chairs are designed specifically for children; they are smaller and adjust better to small bodies. Look at shape and dimensions of the chair when making your choice to ensure they meet your needs.

3. Fill

When choosing the fill for your bean bag chair look for high quality recycled polystyrene fill. You want a bean bag chair that has enough fill to offer support but enough give to be comfortable. Polystyrene fill is the best as it is soft enough to provide great comfort but is also strong enough to withstand lots of compression without losing its sponginess. For the benefit of the environment, choose 100% recycled polystyrene. When choosing fill be sure to look for polystyrene that is fire retardant or complies with flammability standards.

4. Design

The greatest thing about Bean Bag Chairs is the range of designs available for an affordable price. You can select just about any design and fabric you want and some of companies will even do custom designs for you. When designing a room in your home you can use the bean bag pattern as a guide to build the rest of the room or use the bean bag chair as a highlight. If you need to raise money for a project, have a bean bag chair customized to advertise your favorite sports team or cause. The greatest thing about customization is the sky is the limit with what you can do with a bean bag chair and the design.

Selecting Bean Bag Chairs to Suit Your Home Decor

2009-10-19T23:07:00.000-07:00

By Claire Calkin

Noted Italian designers developed the first bean bag chairs in the 1960’s. Their creation was called the ‘Sacco’, and was at the time described as an ‘anatomical armchair’. It became the first mass produced bean bag furniture. Just like its counterpart these days, the Sacco was filled with polystyrene beads that make them lightweight and easy to mold to the shape of the body. While enhancements to its size and shape have occurred over time, in general the bean bag chair form remains true to the design of the Sacco from the 1960’s.

The original concept behind the bean bag chair was to create stylish mobile furniture, which is unlike conventional bulky furniture. Thus the bean bag chair is easily moved from room to room as well as from indoors to outdoors. The design of it is highly praised, as it adapts to many different body shapes. The original Sacco featured a headrest that got its shape from beans being pushed up into this area. In the more modern bean bags, the head area is not a separate component, rather now a part of the bean bag chair which is accentuated.

These days, bean bag chairs are available in a vast range of colors and styles. However not all fabrics are created equal – some are more hardwearing, some suitable for outdoors use, whereas others may be warmer to the touch. In general though, the sturdier the fabric, the longer the bean bag chair will last. More sturdy fabrics are easier to maintain and clean, and require less care. Also, darker colors show fewer marks and stains than lighter color fabrics do. If your climate is cooler, a chair with a fur rather than denim fabric for instance will keep you warmer.

Fur bean bag chairs are an extra cosy option and come in a variety of colors and designs. Many feature designs that resemble animal hides, while others feature bright cheery colors.
Denim bean bag chairs are one of the more hardwearing designs. These have a classic coloring and are one of the easiest styles to co-ordinate with the rest of your home décor. Like a pair of favorite jeans, denim bean bags will go with most other colors.
Nylon and Vinyl bean bags help repel liquid, so are suitable options if children will be around or using the chair. Vinyl features a more leathery look and a textured feel.

You need to take extra care when filling a bean bag chair. It is best done with someone else helping you out – otherwise you can end up with thousands of polystyrene beads rolling around the floor of your living room. The best approach is to put the bag that contains the beads inside the bean bag chair and gently open it. Then the beads need to be gently poured in. Filling bean bags needs to be done indoors – as even the vaguest hint of breeze can cause the beads to scatter everywhere. One key consideration is how full the bean bag should be stuffed with polystyrene beads. Many people have their own preference – however you should bear in mind that if a bean bag chair is understuffed it won’t provide adequate support for you and may be a little uncomfortable. A fully stuffed bean bag provides very firm support. It is recommended that people with bad backs overfill their bean bag chair - as a fuller bag will provide particularly good support for your back. In general though, a good rule of thumb is to fill the bean bag to 6 inches above the widest point of the bag.

When sitting in a bean bag chair for the first time, you should sit in roughly the middle part of the bag. If you sit too high up in the bag, your back won't be entirely supported, and sitting too low may put strain on your legs. However it is best to find your own favored position on the bean bag chair - the position that you are comfortable in is best.

As a piece of interior design, bean bag chairs can be used as a main feature in a room, providing a contemporary, relaxing look. They can also be added to complement other furniture or colors. Their minimalist look provides a relief from other ‘busy’ furniture. One could argue that just looking at one is soothing and induces relaxation. In particular, they are suited to décor that will lend itself to a retro look. However bean bag chairs aren’t confined to any particular style, as the variety of fabrics and colors available will allow them to tastefully blend in with any decor.

What You Should Know About Poof Chairs and Bean Bag Chairs

2009-10-15T23:04:00.000-07:00

By Reginald Sharp

What Is a Poof Chair (Foof Chair)?

A Poof chair (sometimes called a Foof chair), is a chair that is filled with shredded, polyurethane foam. A Poof chair is softer than a traditional bean bag. Poof chairs soothe tired, aching joints because there are no pressure points, unlike the traditional bean bag chair.

What Is Poof Chair Cover Made Of?

Poof chair cover is made of durable wear-resistant and stain-resistant fabrics that are double stitched and double zippered for added safety.

How Much Does A Poof Chair Cost?

The price ranges from under US$100 for a small Poof chair. Mid-range prices are between US$130 and US$200 for a medium size Poof chair, and large Poof chairs can cost upwards to US$300.

Why Should I Consider Buying A Poof Chair?

Because they are very comfortable. The Poof chair engulfs your body into a soothing and supple cushion of patented, polyurethane foam. There are no pressure points. You can easily fluff (refoof) your chair again and again for years of enjoyment.

What Is A Bean Bag Chair?

A bean bag chair is popular form of furniture made of fabric and filled with small chunks of styrofoam or PVC pellets. Bean bag chairs have acquired a cult following.

Beans bags, often simply small bags literally filled with dried beans, are used in a number of children's games involving throwing and catching or throwing at targets.

Since the mid 1990s, some companies have begun selling chairs filled with shredded polyurethane foam, charging a premium for the extra comfort this can provide. Bean bag chairs are known to bean bag enthusiasts by many names, such as "Physics Bag" or "Oversized Sac".

What Materials Are Used To Make Bean Bag Chairs?

Bean bags today use polystyrene bead for filling. Polystyrene bead originally comes in a sugar form and steam is blown into the sugar to expand it. It is also called expanded polystyrene or EPS in the industry. The diameter of the bead that goes into the bean bag does vary from about 3 - 9mm. However, you can now also purchase micro-bead which is 1 - 3mm in diameter. After a couple of years of use, the beans within a bean bag will become compressed and comfort will be reduced. You can generally pick up smaller bags of refill to top them up.

In 2005, a UK based company developed a new style of bean bag, shifting away from the standard blob style to a more stylish designer range of furniture. This style of bean bag has quickly caught on with expats living in London, primarily because they don't want to buy expensive leather suites to only use for a couple of years before returning to their home overseas.

What Should I Consider When Buying A Bean Bag Chair?

There are many things to look at when considering the purchase of a bean bag chair. Some of the factors to take into account are size, material, print, filling and price. There is no "one-size-fits-all" solution for a bean bag chair. Different people will find different things appealing, and ultimately the most important factor in purchasing a bean bag chair is whether or not you like it.

Moreover, when looking for a bean bag chair, it is important to find one with a removable outer sleeve. These are usually coupled with a water-resistant inner liner which stays on at all times to contain the bean bag filling. With a sleeve that can be removed and washed, you can keep your bean bag chair clean and in good repair quite easily.

Whatever bean bag chair you ultimately choose, don't forget to try it out first or, if you purchase online, to make sure there is a flexible return policy. A bean bag chair should feel as though it is molding to your body when you sit in it –- this ultra-decadent feeling of comfort is after all the main reason for choosing a bean bag chair over more traditional furniture.

In What Sizes Do Bean Bag Chairs Come?

Bean bag chairs come in sizes ranging from the very small to the extremely large. The smallest bean bag chairs are intended less for use as an actual chair than to accompany a full-sized bean bag chair as an ottoman.

The next size category are children’s bean bag chairs, large enough for a small child but too small for most adults. Then come queen-size bean bag chairs, which can comfortably accommodate most adults. Finally, there are king and deluxe-size bean bag chairs, which are so large that most adults will be fully enveloped by them, and large enough to accommodate two or more adults.

How Much Do Bean Bag Chairs Cost?

Bean bag chairs can cost under US$100. Mid-range bean bag chairs cost between US$130 and US$200, depending on size and material. Polyurethane bean bag chairs and designer bean bag chairs with ornate prints can cost upwards of US$300. For more information, visit 1-Bean-Bag-Chairs.com.

When you say the word bean bag chair you are either talking about a small vinyl bag filled with the little static filled Styrofoam beads or the large giant bean bag chairs filled with foam that can be used as furniture they are so big. The big love sacs are ideal for any college student or any movie theater room.

They usually come in sizes from 3, 5, 6 or 7 ft and the prices go up according to the size. But the thing is that it is in your best interest to get a 7 ft love sac because it is the most bang for your buck. This is usually the case with anything that you buy in bulk, it's cheaper. That is the reason that you save money when you shop at a place like Costco versus a little locally owned store. When you move large products and many of them you can get them at lower costs and in turn you can charge less to your consumers. So it would make sense to buy a large bean bag sofa so that you can get more chair for your money. And the bigger ones are more comfortable and more fun anyway.

Of course you will save in all aspect of the transaction from the shipping cost per pound to the price per pound of chair when buying a bigger bean bag chair. So it makes sense to save money and go for the big size even though it might cost more, you will be getting more out of your money.

How to Choose a Bean Bag Chair

2009-10-07T06:45:00.000-07:00

Bean Bag Chairs are a great way to dress up any room. Bean Bag Chairs work great as extra seating in your family room, they can be easily stored in a closet and pulled out when the kids have friends over or when you host a party. Sitting in a bean bag chair is a cozy nest for your guests and is much better than sitting in a hard chair.
Bean Bag Chairs come in such a wide range of fabrics these days that they do not have to be hidden away; they can be a part of your décor. With the high quality fabric and the unique designs available choosing a Bean Bag Chair that suits your room is as simple following a few simple steps.
1. Fabric
With the wide variety of bean bags available on the market, there is a wide variety of fabrics available. Vinyl is very common in bean bag chairs, although some people feel that vinyl is too sticky and not as comfortable as cloth bean bag chairs. When selecting vinyl ensure the fabric uses lead-free vinyl inks. Other bean bags come in leather, fun fur, microfibre, denim and cotton. If possible when choosing a fabric, look for a bean bag chair that has a liner so that the cover can be removed and washed periodically.
Regardless of the fabric you prefer, look for a high quality fabric. The seams should be double stitched with clear nylon for added strength as you do not want the bean bag chair to spring a leak. The zippers should be locking to ensure the safety of children. As well the bean bag should be double zippered to ensure the safety of the bag and to keep the fill inside the bag.

2. Size
When looking for a bean bag chair, look at the shape that best suits your needs. Bean bag chairs with a pear shaped design offer better back support because they are taller and cover more of your body. The flatter pancake shaped bean bag chair works great for two people or as a coffee table substitute. Some bean bag chairs are designed specifically for children; they are smaller and adjust better to small bodies.

3. Fill
When choosing the fill for your bean bag chair look for high quality recycled polystyrene fill. You want a bean bag chair that has enough fill to offer support but enough give to be comfortable. For the benefit of the environment, choose 100% recycled polystyrene. When choosing fill be sure to look for polystyrene that is fire retardant or complies with flammability standards.

4. Design
The greatest thing about Bean Bag Chairs is the range of designs available for an affordable price. When designing a room in your home you can use the bean bag pattern as a guide to build the rest of the room or use the bean bag chair as a highlight. If you need to raise money for a project, have a bean bag chair customized to advertise your favorite sports team or cause. The greatest thing about customization is the sky is the limit with what you can do with a bean bag chair and the design.

Selecting Bean Bag Chairs to Suit Your Home Décor
Noted Italian designers developed the first bean bag chairs in the 1960’s. It became the first mass produced bean bag furniture. Just like its counterpart these days, the Sacco was filled with polystyrene beads that make them lightweight and easy to mold to the shape of the body. While enhancements to its size and shape have occurred over time, in general the bean bag chair form remains true to the design of the Sacco from the 1960’s.

The original concept behind the bean bag chair was to create stylish mobile furniture, which is unlike conventional bulky furniture. Thus the bean bag chair is easily moved from room to room as well as from indoors to outdoors. The original Sacco featured a headrest that got its shape from beans being pushed up into this area. In the more modern bean bags, the head area is not a separate component, rather now a part of the bean bag chair which is accentuated.

These days, bean bag chairs are available in a vast range of colors and styles. In general though, the sturdier the fabric, the longer the bean bag chair will last. More sturdy fabrics are easier to maintain and clean, and require less care. Also, darker colors show fewer marks and stains than lighter color fabrics do. If your climate is cooler, a chair with a fur rather than denim fabric for instance will keep you warmer.

Fur bean bag chairs are an extra cosy option and come in a variety of colors and designs. Many feature designs that resemble animal hides, while others feature bright cheery colors.
Denim bean bag chairs are one of the more hardwearing designs. These have a classic coloring and are one of the easiest styles to co-ordinate with the rest of your home décor. Like a pair of favorite jeans, denim bean bags will go with most other colors.

Nylon and Vinyl bean bags help repel liquid, so are suitable options if children will be around or using the chair. You need to take extra care when filling a bean bag chair. The best approach is to put the bag that contains the beads inside the bean bag chair and gently open it. Then the beads need to be gently poured in. Filling bean bags needs to be done indoors – as even the vaguest hint of breeze can cause the beads to scatter everywhere. One key consideration is how full the bean bag should be stuffed with polystyrene beads. Many people have their own preference – however you should bear in mind that if a bean bag chair is understuffed it won’t provide adequate support for you and may be a little uncomfortable. A fully stuffed bean bag provides very firm support. It is recommended that people with bad backs overfill their bean bag chair - as a fuller bag will provide particularly good support for your back. In general though, a good rule of thumb is to fill the bean bag to 6 inches above the widest point of the bag.

When sitting in a bean bag chair for the first time, you should sit in roughly the middle part of the bag. As a piece of interior design, bean bag chairs can be used as a main feature in a room, providing a contemporary, relaxing look. However bean bag chairs aren’t confined to any particular style, as the variety of fabrics and colors available will allow them to tastefully blend in with any decor.

Bean bag chairs have come a long way since I was a kid many years ago. Yes, the old vinyl bean bags still exist, although they are of better quality and are far safer for children with their specially designed child proof zippers. Now they also come in faux fur, animal print, micro fiber, team sport logos and many more.

With so many fabrics, colors, shapes and sizes to choose from, bean bags can be a fun and unique addition to your home decor.

Bean Bag Chairs are a great way to dress up any room. Bean Bag Chairs work great as extra seating in your family room, they can be easily stored in a closet and pulled out when the kids have friends over or when you host a party. Sitting in a bean bag chair is a cozy nest for your guests and is much better than sitting in a hard chair.

Bean Bag Chairs come in such a wide range of fabrics these days that they do not have to be hidden away; they can be a part of your décor. With the high quality fabric and the unique designs available choosing a Bean Bag Chair that suits your room is as simple following a few simple steps.
1. Fabric
With the wide variety of bean bags available on the market, there is a wide variety of fabrics available. Vinyl is very common in bean bag chairs, although some people feel that vinyl is too sticky and not as comfortable as cloth bean bag chairs. When selecting vinyl ensure the fabric uses lead-free vinyl inks. Other bean bags come in leather, fun fur, microfibre, denim and cotton. If possible when choosing a fabric, look for a bean bag chair that has a liner so that the cover can be removed and washed periodically.
Regardless of the fabric you prefer, look for a high quality fabric. The seams should be double stitched with clear nylon for added strength as you do not want the bean bag chair to spring a leak. The zippers should be locking to ensure the safety of children. As well the bean bag should be double zippered to ensure the safety of the bag and to keep the fill inside the bag.

2. Size
When looking for a bean bag chair, look at the shape that best suits your needs. Bean bag chairs with a pear shaped design offer better back support because they are taller and cover more of your body. The flatter pancake shaped bean bag chair works great for two people or as a coffee table substitute. Some bean bag chairs are designed specifically for children; they are smaller and adjust better to small bodies.

3. Fill
When choosing the fill for your bean bag chair look for high quality recycled polystyrene fill. You want a bean bag chair that has enough fill to offer support but enough give to be comfortable. For the benefit of the environment, choose 100% recycled polystyrene. When choosing fill be sure to look for polystyrene that is fire retardant or complies with flammability standards.

4. Design
The greatest thing about Bean Bag Chairs is the range of designs available for an affordable price. When designing a room in your home you can use the bean bag pattern as a guide to build the rest of the room or use the bean bag chair as a highlight. If you need to raise money for a project, have a bean bag chair customized to advertise your favorite sports team or cause. The greatest thing about customization is the sky is the limit with what you can do with a bean bag chair and the design.

Selecting Bean Bag Chairs to Suit Your Home Décor
Noted Italian designers developed the first bean bag chairs in the 1960’s. It became the first mass produced bean bag furniture. Just like its counterpart these days, the Sacco was filled with polystyrene beads that make them lightweight and easy to mold to the shape of the body. While enhancements to its size and shape have occurred over time, in general the bean bag chair form remains true to the design of the Sacco from the 1960’s.

The original concept behind the bean bag chair was to create stylish mobile furniture, which is unlike conventional bulky furniture. Thus the bean bag chair is easily moved from room to room as well as from indoors to outdoors. The original Sacco featured a headrest that got its shape from beans being pushed up into this area. In the more modern bean bags, the head area is not a separate component, rather now a part of the bean bag chair which is accentuated.

These days, bean bag chairs are available in a vast range of colors and styles. In general though, the sturdier the fabric, the longer the bean bag chair will last. More sturdy fabrics are easier to maintain and clean, and require less care. Also, darker colors show fewer marks and stains than lighter color fabrics do. If your climate is cooler, a chair with a fur rather than denim fabric for instance will keep you warmer.

Fur bean bag chairs are an extra cosy option and come in a variety of colors and designs. Many feature designs that resemble animal hides, while others feature bright cheery colors.
Denim bean bag chairs are one of the more hardwearing designs. These have a classic coloring and are one of the easiest styles to co-ordinate with the rest of your home décor. Like a pair of favorite jeans, denim bean bags will go with most other colors.

Nylon and Vinyl bean bags help repel liquid, so are suitable options if children will be around or using the chair. You need to take extra care when filling a bean bag chair. The best approach is to put the bag that contains the beads inside the bean bag chair and gently open it. Then the beads need to be gently poured in. Filling bean bags needs to be done indoors – as even the vaguest hint of breeze can cause the beads to scatter everywhere. One key consideration is how full the bean bag should be stuffed with polystyrene beads. Many people have their own preference – however you should bear in mind that if a bean bag chair is understuffed it won’t provide adequate support for you and may be a little uncomfortable. A fully stuffed bean bag provides very firm support. It is recommended that people with bad backs overfill their bean bag chair - as a fuller bag will provide particularly good support for your back. In general though, a good rule of thumb is to fill the bean bag to 6 inches above the widest point of the bag.

When sitting in a bean bag chair for the first time, you should sit in roughly the middle part of the bag. As a piece of interior design, bean bag chairs can be used as a main feature in a room, providing a contemporary, relaxing look. However bean bag chairs aren’t confined to any particular style, as the variety of fabrics and colors available will allow them to tastefully blend in with any decor.
